T20i

Harare Sports Club

Zimbabwe and Afghanistan will lock horns in the second match of the three-game T20I series at the Harare Sports Club in Harare on October 31, 2025 (Friday), at 5:00 PM IST. Afghanistan ended their losing streak in T20Is with a comprehensive win over Zimbabwe in the first game, taking a 1–0 lead in the series, and will now aim to seal the series in the second game.

Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan Chance of Winning

Sikandar Raza is the biggest star in Zimbabwe cricket at the moment and he’s proving it both with bat and ball, ensuring a kind of transition that could steer them for a long time. He would require better support from Dion Myers, Ryan Burl, Richard Ngarava, and Blessing Muzarabani in order to cast a shadow on Afghanistan, who are too good on their days in the shortest format of the game.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan go deep - both with bat and ball. With Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, and Sediqullah Atal delivering the goods with the bat, Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Azmatullah Omarzai will leave no stone unturned to make an impact with the ball. They showed the impact in the first game already and will be eager to close the deal in the second match in Harare.

Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan Betting Tips

There has to be a bet on Rashid Khan. This doesn’t require a justification, does it? You can keep a big amount separate for Rahmanullah Gurbaz, whose ability to score quick runs is well documented. What about Azmatullah Omarzai? You can’t ignore him either. From the Zimbabwean side, a bet on Sikandar Raza goes without saying.

Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan Betting Odds

Afghanistan to have a good batting powerplay (Parimatch)

In Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, and Sediqullah Atal, Afghanistan have a stunning top order capable of delivering the goods with the bat. In fact, since January 2022, they’ve averaged 55 runs in the first six overs of an innings. Even in the first game of the series, Afghanistan openers managed to score 63 runs in the first six overs, so the inevitablity seems more plausible at the moment.

Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan Best Batters

Brian Bennett to be Zimbabwe’s best batter (Parimatch)

Brian Bennett is the most dependable batter for Zimbabwe at the moment, having scored 506 runs in his last 11 matches at an average of 46 and a strike rate of 172.75. In his T20I career, Bennett has accumulated 1,392 runs at an average of 31.63 and a strike rate of 147.57. So, trust the Mountaineers all-rounder to deliver once again for the African nation.

Sediqullah Atal to be Afghanistan’s best batter (Parimatch)

Sediqullah Atal has scored 308 runs in his last 10 matches at an average of 38.5, making him one of Afghanistan’s most important players with the bat. Despite the presence of Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran, Atal emerged as a key performer for the side during the Bangladesh series, and in all likelihood, that form should continue.

Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan Best Bowlers

Sikandar Raza to be Zimbabwe’s best bowler (Parimatch)

Sikandar Raza is a legend of Zimbabwe cricket - and for all the right reasons. A true T20 globetrotter, Raza has taken 203 wickets in the shortest format at an average of 26.72. On the international circuit, he has 99 wickets at an average of 22.18, making him a standout performer. So, what are you waiting for?

Rashid Khan to be Afghanistan’s best bowler (Parimatch)

You know this is gonna happen and it shall definitely happen. A quick glance at Rashid Khan’s T20 record tells you why. In his career, Rashid has taken 678 wickets - a figure no one in world cricket even comes close to. His average of 18.39 is nothing short of legendary. So, wait no longer and place the bet.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

AFG

Afghanistan for the win. On paper, they are a far stronger side than Zimbabwe, with all bases covered. With Rashid Khan leading from the front, it’s hard to see things going wrong for them - especially with Ibrahim Zardan and Rahmanullah Gurbaz anchoring the batting effort with such ease. Barring Blessing Muzarabani and Sikandar Raza, Zimbabwe don’t really have many players capable of making a big impact.

• ZIM to Win - 3.69 (Parimatch)
